Ammonium Lactate 12% Cream, 140Gm [Major]
Intense Hydration for Dry, Scaly Skin
Ammonium Lactate 12% Cream is a prescription-strength (often available over-the-counter as well) dermatological cream formulated to provide intensive moisturization and relief for extremely dry, scaly, and itchy skin conditions. This cream, containing the active ingredient Ammonium Lactate (an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid or AHA) at a 12% concentration, works by significantly increasing skin hydration and promoting gentle exfoliation.
It is medically indicated for the treatment of Xerosis (dry skin) and Ichthyosis Vulgaris (an inherited dry skin condition), offering temporary relief from associated itching. The 140-gram tube from the Major label provides a convenient and ample supply for consistent treatment.
